Not only hip hop has gone through a lot of changes. So have dancing styles, that were always hip hop’s company and inspiration.

Consequentially some producers throughout the production process might have kept an eye on giving B-Boys what they’re out for on this spanking beat tape – dope next-century electro-funk infused breaks.

Assembled by AAron Evofrom Paris some of the finest hip hop producers such as Elaquent, Juno Akasawa or Sunclef besides fresh new guys, not as well known, but worth checking out, give you an insight of how hip hop’s meant to sound, when B-Boys and B-Girls get funky on the dancefloor.

Nice loopy hip hop beats from St. Augustine/ Florida made by Ian Jones aka CHROMADA DATAon Krayt Diggz. He kicks it badass, just boom-bip + heavy samples, some of the sources are well known. But who cares as long as they do what they were made for – letting you have a good time nodding your head to.

MUTE SPEAKER left a positive impression with last year’s first full lenght album „Smart Bomb“.

Since then, Rob O’Hara seems to have gone through a process, that now with his second full lenght release allows him to walk and mark new musical territories.

His latest excursions will lead the listeners from omnipresent hip hop (with MCing) to dub and, at least surprising for me, to r’n’b tracks. At first listen I was like: wtf? But as I gave it a second try, I even got into that.

I must admit, I’m the more strictly beats type guy, but some cuts have a voice to it for a reason. So don’t be shy, give it a try.

Rubber Beats Vol. III is packed with familiar artists, some artist you might have heard of, but half of them guys seem unknown to the scene, unless you are an internet fiend and spent your days and nights stalking muthafuckers, which I hope you don’t do.

The mixture of ambient, dubstep, 8-bit game fun, hip hop flavored future beats and some serious deep shit offers sounds for each of your dark desires and even might fill a gap in your collection of unheard ideas.

POLOZOVfrom Russia debuts with a 6 track EP going by the name of Peace. And boy, the production has made a quantum leap since I heard some of his production for the first time. Electronic meets warm organic sounds, never missing a good amount of bleeps.

Also I gotta say, I like the arrangements very much, giving you insight on every track of the musical carpet, he’s layering to give you what you might hear in a second or two, if you choose to listen to this.

All this is brought to you by OUTLIER RECORDINGS from BKLYN. Finally the EP features two remixes by the record label’s founders ODDLOGIC and WIE.

Fresh out the box HIMURO YOSHITERU from Tokyo/Japan is chopping it up samurai-style. The best release I heard since the year turned 2012.

He’s dropping a heavy 17-track album going by the name of Our Turn, Anytime, giving an impressive insight in how multifaceted music is and can be. Heavy bass, hip hop sample mastery and even tracks reminding me of some older jazzy work of Amon Tobin make it a fun-to-listen-to album.
